Truce Broken In Jerusalem
UN Anti-Partitionists Attempt
To Brand Israel Aggressor
JERUSALEM � Six more weeks of truce in Palestine may
see the peaceful solution of the conflict. Count Folke Berna-
dotte, UN mediator reported here this week. However, as Berna-
dotte spoke, the entire Jerusalem front was aflame as Jews and
Arabs waged bitter mortar duels.
The first alert since the second
truce started four weeks ago was
sounded this week in Tel Aviv
when an unidentified airplane ap-
peared over the city. An all-clear
signal was given after ten minutes.
It is assumed that the plane was
Egyptian.
The appearance of the craft,
which follows the heaviest fighting
in Jerusalem since the truce be-
came effective, was taken as an in-
dication here that the Arabs in-
tend to continue their military
operations. Arab snipers resumed
firing on Jewish convoys on the
road to Jerusalem.
In a report from Washington, it
was stated that the United States,
France and Belgium have rejected
a Bernadotte request that these
nations' provide several thousand
troops for a UN Palestine police
force.
The U. S. rejected the request on
the grounds that the lives of Amer-
ican troops could not be jeopar-
dized on police duty in Palestine
in which they might become in-
volved in fighting, an official de-
clared.
Anti-partitionists in the UN gave
indications this week of mobiliz-
ing their forces in an effort to
brand Israel as an aggressor in the
Palestine crisis.
Behind this move is the double
objective of invoking economic
sanctions against the new Jewish
republic and thus automatically

Timidly, the graying woman approached and in a nervous,

"Reeognize Israel"
(Editor's Note: The following editorial urging Britain to
realize that Israel is "a fact" and recommending prompt recog-
nition of the Jewish state was carried by the- Manchester
Guardian, considered England's foremost liberal newspaper.)
Sooner or later it will be necessary for the British govern-
ment to recognize the state of Israel. There are good reasons
why a de facto recognition should be made soon. The strongest
of these reasons is that to recognize Israel is to recognize a fact.
Since May 15 a state has in fact existed and has exercised effect-
ive control over a large part of Palestine. It is delimited not
by the intricate and sometimes unrealistic frontiers drawn by
the United Nations Assembly but by the positions which the
armed forces of Israel are holding. While these are not yet
static, they are solid enough; they would hold even if fighting
broke out generally again.
In the chief centers of population within this region, Tei
Aviv and Haifa, commercial and municipal life goes on vigor-
ously enough. It is not normal, as the life of London at war
was not normal; but it has shown its vitality. Postal and in-
ternal transport services are maintained; shipping sails freely
into Haifa docks.
The exodus of Arab refugees from Haifa to Jaffa has eased
the racial problem; many of the Arabs who remain appear to
have accepted the situation; of the six Arabs on the Haifa mu>
